I had a VA SAH housing grant approved a few months ago, but have had a difficult time finding contractors who are qualified and will work with the VA. I live in Cypress, Texas and would appreciate any positive information any of you may have.

I went out for my usual wheelchair ride today and had a great time. The weather was glorious. I have attached a few pictures from the ride so you get an idea of where I go. It is a bike/pedestrian path that I take for about 4.5 miles to halfway up Vail pass. As I started my trip back home, I...

My mother died a year ago and my step-father has ALS. He's lived alone for a year, able to transfer himself, cook, bathe, etc. He lives in a small town in Indiana and I live in Minneapolis. I am his POA. He got a UTI 2 months ago, lost some weight (down to 145 lbs.) and got weak. He no longer...

VA has required the loss of ability to walk to qualify for a wheelchair-carrying vehicle grant. This is often too late for PALS. Thanks to a new friend in Enumclaw, Wash, and widow of a PALS, and her politicking with VA, they will soon allow immediate grants to vets with ALS. This is...

I'm so worried about my dad. My parents live in a second story condo. He was diagnosed with ALS 2.5 years ago. I immediately encouraged them to put their place on the market, but he was still walking well (his case began with loss of upper body strength), and plus this diagnosis was tough to...

Still WAITING to be rehoused! Have applied to 16 housing providers and now 9 months more of having to REALLY STRUGGLE to get up and down these 48 stairs to get out of the house:cry::cry: It's killing me faster than the MND. Some friends contacted Scotland Today tv news and my story was featured...

Hello, I hope you can please help. My husband has been diagnosed with ALS but right now he is still walking and moving relatively good, but he is in a lot of pain and is tiring easily. my question is: we have a 2 story house with the bedrooms and the main bathroom upstairs ( 1/2...
